Two of Kelly's ENVIA! Episodes, Your Gullibility and Your Free Sample, will be performed by Aimee Rose Ranger as part of the 5th Annual Our Voices Festival at Regis College Fine Arts Center Black Box, Weston, MA, on March 26, 2011, at 7:00 p.m.
This annual festival of staged readings of Boston area women playwrights is produced by festival founder, Kelly DuMar, Ann Garvin of Image Theater, and Wendy Lement, playwright and Regis College Theatre Department Chair. The festival is fortunate to have found a new home at Regis College where it will be held for its second year in the beautiful Fine Arts Center.
This year, guest playwright and dramaturge, Sybil Roberts Williams, who teaches playwrighting at American University in Washington, D.C., returns to the festival with a reading of one of her own plays, Zimbabwe: Or She Talks To Bob Marley. Sybil will facilitate discussion of the plays in the morning and evening workshops.
The playwrights are grateful for the many talented Boston area actors who will be featured in the play readings which will be directed by a variety of skillful, imaginative Boston area directors. The festival is free & open to the public and the evening audience is also invited to join the playwrights at a pre-show cheese & chocolate reception at 6:30 in the Fine Arts Center lobby.
One of the unique features of the Our Voices Festival is that each partipating playwright presents the audience with her Artist Statement prior to the performance of her play, offering insight into her inspiration, vision and creative process. The following playwrights and plays will be presented (order of plays TBD):
